Finally: A Spell-Checker for Microsoft Access Developers!

How many times has this happened to you? You spend days, even
weeks, working on Microsoft Access forms and reports. You check and re-check and make
sure every button works, and every report is complete and understandable.
The big day comes. You demo your application to users, or send reports out
to your organization. Unfortunately, everyone
points out and remembers your spelling errors. Ugh!

Total Access Speller to the Rescue!

Total Access Speller is an add-in for Microsoft Access that makes it easy to spell check your object properties and designs.
Access includes a spell checker, but it only handles data in tables. What about typos in your forms, reports,
labels, captions and validation text? No matter how much work you do to make your Access applications fast and
reliable, your users (and your boss) see and remember the typos in your user interface and reports.

Total Access Speller provides an easy-to-use wizard that spell
checks all properties that can contain text. Total Access Speller uses the
Microsoft Office spell checker with your language and custom dictionaries. There is simply no better
way to ensure the professional quality of your Access applications.

Ensure Professional Applications

Creating Access applications takes time and effort. To create professional reliable
applications, you spend time creating a data design, implementing tables and
queries to drive data, and forms and reports to present that data to users.
But no matter how much time you spend on design, performance optimization,
coding and testing, all it takes is a few typos in critical areas and your
application looks less than professional. Why let people question your
attention to detail and accuracy?

Without Total Access Speller, you are on your own in performing this critical quality check on
your applications. Manually performing spell checking takes forever and is error prone. Total Access Speller solves
this problem by providing an automated spell checking solution for your Access objects.

Easy to Use

Total Access Speller is designed exclusively for Microsoft Access. Simply open your database and
select Total Access Speller from the Add-ins menu.

The main menu appears:

A spell check wizard guides you through the process of selecting the objects you want to examine:

The properties of your selected objects are presented for you to spell check:

Once you're done changing your text, apply your changes and a summary of the results are presented.

What's Spell Checked?

Object Types

Total Access Speller performs spell checking on properties for the following object types:

Tables and Table Fields

Queries and Query Columns

Forms, Controls, and Embedded Macros

Reports, Controls, and Embedded Macros

Macros

User Defined Command Bars

Property List

A property list covers all properties that contain text for your
application's user interface. You can enable or disable properties or add
your own. With Total Access Speller, you are in complete control of the spell checking.

Special Handling for HotKeys in Captions

Labels associated with form controls often have "&" to designate shortcut hotkeys.
That can be in the middle of a word which would normally confuse a spell
checker. Total Access Speller takes this into account to let you spell
check the "true" word, then preserves your hotkey letter.

Automatically Updates Your Changes

For all the object properties, your requested changes are applied. The
only exception is macros which due to MS Access security limitations, do not
allow automatic updates. A report listing these changes is generated so you can make the changes manually.

100% Guaranteed

Total Access Speller is 100% guaranteed to pay for itself the first time you use it.
Quickly find spelling errors in your applications and fix them. Think of the
embarrassment, loss of trust, and hassles you'll avoid.

Permanently eliminate typos and distribute your applications with confidence!

works as an add-in for database formats in ACCDB (Access 2007-2016), MDB (Access 2000-2016
formats), and Access Data Projects (ADP) provided you can open them in Access 2010.
